Where to Stay When Visiting Panasonic North America (Newark)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Panasonic North America's headquarters is in Newark, New Jersey. Stay near the campus, not across the river. There's rarely a reason to pay Manhattan prices and reverse-commute.

Direct answer: Visiting Panasonic North America's Newark, NJ HQ (2 Riverfront Plaza): stay in the Newark / Jersey City area near the office. Stay in downtown Newark or on the Jersey City waterfront near Panasonic North America — both are walkable, transit-rich, and minutes from Newark airport. There's no reason to pay Manhattan rates and reverse-commute under the river for a New Jersey meeting. Newark Liberty (EWR) is right here — about 10 minutes from downtown Newark and 15 from Jersey City — one of the easiest airport runs anywhere, and a quick train ride to Manhattan if the trip extends. Skip JFK and LaGuardia; EWR is the airport.

Panasonic North America is the North American arm of the electronics maker Panasonic, headquartered at 2 Riverfront Plaza, Newark, NJ 07102. That's the Newark / Jersey City core — New Jersey's urban gateway across the Hudson from Manhattan, where Prudential and PSEG anchor downtown Newark and the Jersey City waterfront holds its own cluster of towers.
